The rigid frame includes two vertical support members that attaches to the side plate that extends upward and pivotally attaches to two horizontal support arms that extend laterally from the vehicle's frame and under the bed or trailer. Attached to the proximal end of each horizontal support arm is an upper mounting bracket that attaches to the vehicle frame. Attached to the vehicle frame and below the upper mounting bracket is a second lower bracket. Pivotally attached to the lower bracket is a diagonal member that extends diagonally and pivotally attaches to a slide bracket mounted on the horizontal support arm.
